Every Artist or Artisan must work for himself, to express himself, to communicate, to transmit or receive emotions, with the wish that his creation is appreciated for what he had first imagined.

Italy Rare leather suitcase

 

This suitcase, unique object in its kind, is made on purpose by the Master Artisan Varetto Boldrini to contain the nice and precious things of Italy Rare in respect for the age-old tuscan tradition of the use of materials, of the leather's quality and the entirely manual techniques.
Each product is numbered and recorded in his personal book by the Master.
